This R&B dance debut fits in perfectly with SBK label`s Vanilla Ice and Wilson Phillips: very mainstream. But it`s better than the former two. The young couple Ali and Ray rap and sing their way through several catchy tunes written by producer Peter Willis. Most songs, such as ``Boomerang,``

``Brokenhearted`` and ``Shut Up and Dance,`` focus on good and bad sides of relationships with each partner spouting his or her feelings. Overall, it`s an upbeat, lightly grooving dance trip with some extremely funny lyrics that are wicked but not obscene.
